HIKSEMI FUTURE 1TB SSD Review in Spanish – Performance at a lower cost

El HIKSEMI FUTURE 1TB SSD It exceeded our expectations by demonstrating excellent performance in several tests, something we already anticipated due to its technical specifications. DRAM-less controllers have seen significant advancements, and while they don't achieve the same performance as a cached design, they provide fairly solid performance, especially when considering the price of the product.

We recently reviewed a similar SSD from the brand APPEAR, which, despite having a slightly lower theoretical cost ($8 less), presents a crucial difference over NAND Flash chips. They both share the same controller, but the FUTURE SSD stands out for its chips 232 layers, offering superior performance.

This difference in memory chips manifests itself in performance measurements, reaching speeds of up to 7000 MB / s in certain tests, which clarifies the divergence in performance between both units. In the market, there are options with a price close to that of the HIKSEMI FUTURE, such as the KC3000, which costs slightly more (between $6 and $8 more), although it has a lower total write resistance (TBW). We are intrigued by the idea of ​​evaluating this product from a direct competitor, especially since the brand is already established in the market thanks to its track record.

Despite being a new player in this segment, HIKSEMI offers a solid guarantee of 1800 TBW o 5 years. However, gaining the public's trust will take time. The good news is that the product proves its worth by using components that other brands rely on in their SSDs, and it has local representation.

It is crucial to inform end users that no brand covers data loss under warranty. Therefore, it is recommended to make backup copies of important information. What the brand does cover is providing a new unit at no cost and/or a credit note corresponding to the depreciation of the product if the warranty is effective.

I don't have many criticisms of the product, although I would like to point out to HIKSEMI's marketing team that the drive we evaluated did not reach the advertised 7400 MB/s speeds. Personally, we do not consider this as something negative, since we find the performance offered quite satisfactory. However, when reviewing the results of other portals, I observed that in some cases the advertised speeds were achieved. The performance disparity could be firmware related, so upgrading ad information to read speeds of 7000 MB/s could be beneficial.

The only suggestion for the future would be to consider integrating software with a user-friendly interface into the SSD division, allowing users to check online if there are upgrades and/or firmware updates available for their products.

The impact of this brand entering the market remains to be seen, and we hope that over time, hopefully, there will be some additional protection to the product. With a price of $ 75 USD en Peru, el HIKSEMI FUTURE 1TB SSD It is undoubtedly positioned as one of the best in terms of price/performance ratio. With a robust warranty, we are eager to explore other models that HIKSEMI offers, especially those with an even more attractive price ticket, in a market where supremacy has been maintained by the NV2.
